A beautiful slice of Japanese craftsmanship, this vintage soroban (abacus) is as charming as it is fascinating. Handcrafted in Japan from honey-toned wood, it features the traditional 1:4 bead arrangement used for centuries in Japanese calculation.
The wood has aged gracefully, with smooth, tactile beads and subtle variations that speak to its handmade origins. The back still bears faint, hand-brushed markings - likely the signature of its owner or maker - adding an extra layer of intrigue and history.
The vintage abacus is in excellent vintage condition with light, age-appropriate wear.
Approximate dimensions: 18.5cm x 7.5cm x 1.5cm
